NASCAR Angels, a weekly, reality television program from NASCAR® that hits the road to help those in desperate need of a transportation fix, is teaming up with Exide® Batteries, the official battery of NASCAR, on a unique holiday promotion designed to give fans the opportunity to win the ultimate race experience – with a surprise.

“With this promotion, NASCAR Angels and Exide intend to bring that sense of the unexpected to NASCAR fans,” said Odis Lloyd, managing director of NASCAR’s automotive division. “Each week, NASCAR competes in cities across the map from beautiful Sonoma, California to sunny Homestead, Florida. Exide’s joint effort with NASCAR Angels to provide car care solutions, as well as their passion for giving loyal NASCAR fans unique racing experiences makes this sweepstakes a great opportunity to bring a fan to one of NASCAR’s hometowns during the season.”

Other lucky participants can snag instant prizes of Exide commemorative racing hats (five per day) given away each day during the promotion.

“Part of the lure of NASCAR racing are the unknowns – how drivers will use competitive advantages on the track, how equipment will perform, what’s around the next turn, and, of course, the ultimate question of who will win,” said Bruce Cole, President – Transportation Americas, Exide Technologies. “By devising a sweepstakes combining the known – the ultimate race experience, with an unknown destination, The Exide Ultimate NASCAR Fan Gift Sweepstakes taps into the mysterious in an exciting, entertaining way.”
